Grizzly Mountain Beard Dye - Organic & Natural Black Beard Dye

It worx, yet here's how it worx.. so, everything anyone has ever said about Just For Men is true. I used it for 11 years without symptoms then one day it was all over. Turns out I'm also 11 years older so I need it more lol. What a nightmare JFM is. Wow. Wow. Caused sores, blisters, pus, redness, itching as you could expect in hell... like the kinda itching that once you start scratching you're hypnotized to not stop and you're helpless to it... if you use JFM and this isn't happening to you... don't worry... it will. 100%. I got prescribed Prednisone/Steroid cream. Took a couple months to heal. GOOD NEWS... Grizzly works. And so we never have to go gray again safely... HOWEVERRRRRR, so the turn your beard green, purple thing... it will happen UNLESS you do this... Here's the trick and cut and paste it... 1) First it goes a long way so get just one tablespoon spoon (short beard grunge, two tablespoon for longer beards) flattened not even full... dump it in a plastic cup or use the old Just For Men tray AND JFM brush too! ... ALSO, regarding the base it comes with... so I pour all the bag of die powder into a special glass jar when I open the package and so I mix 1 part base with 3 parts grizzly mix... no need to do the base separate it's funny like that. 2) boil black coffee, and add boiling coffee drop by drop until it's only a thick paste, do not thin it out! I mean thick, toothpaste thick... see this is the trick, because you cheapskates may be making it too thin... by doing it thick it's super concentrated and bonus it's easy to put on without dripping! 3. IMPORTANT! You gotta put it on within 2 minutes of mixing it! DO NOT LET IT SIT, DO NOT LET IT GET COLD, that color is alive that first couple minutes... 4. LEAVE IT ON for 40 minutes...NO LESS! it stabilizes by itself so it'll only color so far... it's gotta dry up like plaster does (TMI, I take care of all my bathroom biz at the same time so its no hassle for me) 5. Take shower and rinse off and you're gonna be awesome! These instructions took me many trial and error sessions. And eff Just For Men for ruining many many good days.

There are so many reasons to not buy this product. First of all, the instructions are vague and unnecessarily verbose... not only is it a whole page of florid prose most of which is unrelated to the actual application process, but it doesn't even have the right steps that work for many of the people who use this junk. For example, there is no specification of amount of water to add to the mix. When I first tried this, I seemed to have put in too much and it had the consistency of swamp water... then later did I realize (what they don't mention) that you only add a few drops of water, maybe a teaspoonful, to this thing to make it "like ketchup" as they describe. Second, it smells awful! There is an acrid, bitter smell to this that is sort of like grass and dirt mixed with onions or some horrible vegetable else... it is difficult to describe. It is not entirely noxious but I was in a rush to get it off my face and scrub it out of every surface it touched. Third, it doesn't work! They themselves concede in the page-long instructions that it frequently doesn't work on first try! I got the black and it turned my beard a kind of tinted grey/green. If this happens I'm supposed to use the additional bag but really, I have no interest in going through this again. Fourth, it's almost twice as expensive as Just For Men. I bought this because I developed an allergy to Just For Men as many people who buy this product... so far there is no allergy to this but it does not justify the cost. This is a rip off. Now for those who are persistent with this obviously "challenging" product and got it to work through some dexterous practice like learning to play a new musical instrument, I salute you. For the rest of us who do not have time to fidget around with smelly goo and powder, the search for alternatives continues.

This is a great product and great find, there are some caveats that need to be explained in order to truly be satisfied and happy with the product. 1. Take the instructions literally and don’t have unrealistic expectations. 2. Don’t rush through applications and be sloppy with the measurements. 3. Understand that this natural product might work a little slower than the nasty chemical alternatives, but good things come to those that wait. Initially when I got the product, I was overly eager to apply the stuff, and was being lazy about measuring things out properly and applying it just as instructed. I also didn’t have the patience to wait and allow the absorbed materials to develop within my beard hairs. I rushed and just eyeballed everything. The paste that I made was more of slurry than a ketchup thick paste. That being said, even being sloppy and rushing, the initial application worked at dying about 95 percent of my white hairs. The instructions say to do it on a Frost night, so you have the weekend to get it perfect. This is not to be taken with a grain of salt. It does continue to develop over the next day. That being said, I was in a rush, so I did two more applications that same day, one with the organic base dye that is office, and one with the color that I wanted. At this point I got 98% of the white hairs on my face dyed. I still felt frustrated, because I wanted instant 100% coverage. I went to bed and woke up the next day, and now I’m completely satisfied and happy. Not only did I get the full coverage that I wanted, it looks natural, my skin doesn’t feel burned or damaged like the chemical alternatives on the market, and it really looks natural. This is a highly recommended product that I’ll be keeping in my arsenal of tools to use for a long time. A Lorrie patience and trusting in the process goes a long way, and actually following the instructions and taking the time to adequately measure the ingredients to get the powder into a ketchup like paste rather than a thin slurry will assist you in getting it right. Using water as hot as you can tolerate will expedite the process for those really coarse hairs. Solid buy and great product. Both pictures below show my beard today, pictured below are the after shots, with another picture of what my whites looked like.

I recently purchased this product, the concept of having an alternative to the chemical heavy products is very attractive, I followed the instructions and applied as prescribed, this is a very easy product to use, it takes far longer than the "normal" commercial brands (30 Mins) but I did not mind, the odour may be a bit unexpected but I was fine with it. After I took this off, my beard was bluish, but I let this settle overnight with pleasant results, the beard got darker with a very natural look and feel, props for this. The problems are that with the passing days the beard got progressively lighter, to the point that It had a purplish tone, I reapplied the second time in 4 days which helped, unfortunately, the same thing happened after a few days where the color faded. I LOVE the concept, I wish this could stay in my beard for longer than it does not, because if in a hurry or travelling, I dont always have time reapply as frequently as this may require.

I had been using JFM for years with no problems. Then one day I it burned my face and turned my bottom lip a dark blackish color that took 3-4 weeks to go away. I then tried Bigen EZ and it also worked for awhile then it to burned my face. I decide to give henna a try, but it didn't do a good job covering grey and it washed out way too easy. I pretty much gave up until I came across a review on Amazon on Grizzly Mountain. I gave it a try and WOW I am totally impressed. My beard looks very natural and it covered my grey. I used the base first for 30 minutes and then 30 minutes with the dye. Awesome results, but it could be a little darker so I decide to do another application and it is perfect now. Give Grizzly Mountain a try and you won't be disappointed

The mixture process is easy. It’s natural and did not irritate my skin. There are three problems with this. 1. I don’t like the smell and even after waiting over 48 hours and washing the smell lingers when you put your beard in hot water. Sometimes you smell it just throughout the day. 2. My beard turned purple so I went to YouTube to see what to do. I ended up applying more of the organic, but that did not help. I get so frustrated. I ended up just cutting my beard off and going natural next time I won’t use any dye. 3. There are no real instructions. I had to go to YouTube to see what other said they should do if it wasn’t for the purple spots my only complaint would be the smell.

Works for me and doesn't make me itch and break out like JFM. At first I picked the wrong Grizzly Mountain color, but it still worked, and the right color works even better! I have thick dark, dark brown hair on my head, sprinkled with gray streaks, mostly over my temples (my son says like Mr Fantastic). Having used JFM I was in the habit of buying color that's lighter than advertised because JFM would always over-darken. For my beard type, Grizzly Mountain colors are exactly what they're supposed to be. First pass I did 15 minutes of color, instead of the recommended 30 minutes, and got too little of an effect. I also mixed the stuff a little too watery. Next pass was 30 minutes and a little more like the thickness of white glue and that worked great. I had the slight green tint for 2-3 hours and then it was the right color brown as the package was marked. But like I said, I have DARK brown hair, so the medium brown face hair seemed a little off to me. As my medium brown was aging through the week, I bought a package of BLACK Grizzly Mountain so I could either use the straight black or mix it 50/50 with the brown to get a home-made dark brown. Turned out that the black treatment on top of a week old (and slightly starting to fade) brown was a good look for me. These days I do the treatment just once per week and it works GREAT, looks very natural, covers my 50% gray beard/mustache hair and blends it well with the remaining 50% of facial hair that is still dark and hasn't turned gray yet. For reference, my facial hair is fairly short, but longer than stubble. My chin and soul patch are a little longer than a #3 guide on a beard hair trimmer. My mustache is relatively full, but not Tom Selleck/Burt Reynolds thick. I read somewhere that the Grizzly Mountain dye works on the hair follicle below the skin, and I think that's a reason that it still looks good for a week. And since it fades SLOWLY over the period of a week, just doing the routine every weekend is an easy deal.

I’ve tried multiple times to use this product (first time dying my beard) and every time I use it (especially with the base that they add) I get a chemical burn that is very painful and lasts for around a week and a half. I generally don’t have allergies to much of anything. That alone makes the product either a 3 or a 2 star automatically as this means the product is either unusable for me, or there’s something I’m doing incorrectly that the instructions are not saying. What pushes this into a 1 star review for me, is that I went looking for a similar review to see if anyone else received a chemical burn as well, and there was in fact one person that did. I was surprised to see that the manufacturer had called this person a liar because “our product doesn’t contain chemicals, therefore we’re reporting your disingenuous review”. Instead of calling someone a liar first, how about reaching out and getting more information? I’ve had an Amazon account since 2001: you can’t pull the “disingenuous review” card with me as easily. I generally don’t like posting pictures of myself to the web but I felt it necessary to highlight what I experienced. I’ve had my hair relaxed as a teenager so I know what a chemical burn feels like. Simple irritation goes away quickly. Lastly a chemical burn doesn’t necessarily mean that you used chemicals in your product. If you google for the definition of chemical burn, it’s the following: “A chemical burn occurs when your skin or eyes come into contact with an irritant, such as an acid or a base. Chemical burns are also known as caustic burns. They may cause a reaction on your skin or within your body”. So to me this is applicable. But let’s pretend it’s incorrect: just because someone uses an incorrect description doesn’t mean they deserve being dismissed. You can call it a chemical burn or not but there’s clearly an issue if you look at thee amount of redness. Long short, try to understand where your customers are coming from before calling them liars.

I began using JFM but have sensitive skin. I had slight burn after a few uses so decided to stop immediately. I looked at a few natural items and saw this brand available on Amazon. I initially used the dark brown. It didn’t work well. I was getting orange colour on my grey hairs and only lasting a couple of days. I was about to give up but thought I would try the black dye. This has worked great with no irritation. With this product, it took some practice and trial and error to get things the way I wanted. I have a relatively short beard (number 6 on my Remington beard trimmer) and I colour it every 5 days. It’s not as straight forward as chemical dyes but I have found it works just as well. The first thing to mention is that this does take longer. If you need the base then it can take up to an hour whereas the JFM only stayed on for 2 minutes. I find it best to use this around doing something else as opposed to just sitting around waiting to wash it off. The second thing to mention is that this does not work like chemical dyes. This will only colour what it is physically in contact with. Therefore, you have to make sure you cannot see any hair sticking out of the application. It has to be thick with the beard fully underneath the mixture. I find that my beard darkens immediately but continues to get darker over the next 8 hours. I don’t personally get any of the green or purple mentioned. This colour is a dark black and darker than my natural beard. There is no guarantee that the dye will work. You may need to use the base. The dye has not worked for me without the base. I have done some trial and error and I can mix my base in with the black and use it in one application. This is not how they recommend it is used but works for me and I half the time. It works better if you use the base and colour separately but I’m happy with the result and I prefer to have a few grey hairs here and there as it looks more natural. If I use separately then I can get 100% black beard. One of the great things about this compared to chemical products is that this does not colour your skin. I have no irritation at all. I previously had dry skin under my beard but using this product has meant I no longer have dry skin. It’s also worth noting that this product requires a lot less time on the beard than similar natural products which say they need to be on for anywhere between 4 hours to overnight. All in all very happy with this and I like that it is natural.

Die meisten Bart- bzw. Haarfärbemittel enthalten Substanzen, die bei vielen Menschen zu Allergien führen. Dieses Bartfärbemittel besteht aus natürlichen Substanzen und eignet sich auch für Menschen, die auf die üblichen Bartfärbemittel mit schweren allergischen Reaktionen reagieren. Es gibt das Mittel in vier verschiedenen Farbvarianten. Jeder Bart reagiert anders auf das Mittel. Daher muss man ein bisschen herumprobieren. Ähnlich wie bei einem ungefärbten Bart bleibt der Bart nach dem Färben ein bisschen uneinheitlich. So ist auch bei der Farbe "schwarz" nicht ein pechschwarzer Bart zu erwarten, wie es bei synthetischen Mitteln der Fall ist. Das Ergebnis wirkt dadurch natürlicher. Die Reaktion des Barts auf das Mittel ist nicht vorhersehbar. Daher sollte der Erstanwender das Mittel möglichst vor einem Wochenende benutzen. Es kann insbesondere bei der schwarzen Variante zu einem leichten Violett- oder Grünstich kommen. Das verliert sich bei wiederholter Anwendung. Es ist oft besser, zunächst eine hellere Farbe zu verwenden, z. B. Hell- oder Mittelbraun. Zudem kann man die einzelnen Farben auch mischen, z. B. ein Teelöffel schwarz und zwei Teelöffel dunkelbraun. Außerdem sollte man sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass das Mittel mindestens einmal in der Woche angewandt werden sollte, um abrupte Farbwechsel zu meiden.

لابأس وتحت التجربه

Det bästa som hänt mitt skägg. Min naturliga färg är tillbaka, och jag förstår inte hur det är möjligt.

Después de pensármelo mucho tiempo y buscar distintos tipos de tintes, me decidí por Grizzly Mountain y el resultado es espectacular. La barba queda con un aspecto muy natural y además, al ser un producto no químico, no irrita ni pica, ni siquiera mancha la piel. Es cierto que hay que cogerle el punto, que el pelo va oxidándose poco a poco durante un día hasta alcanzar la tonalidad deseada, pero todo esto compensa al ver el resultado. Lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda.
